Ropes from tree to tree will bring attention to somthing you dont want people to know is there.
I used 3-5 gal buckets painted brown or green to blend in. They must be tied down in case of a strong wind.
What I did was this, it worked pretty well for me. I would put flare fittings in the top of the buckets, You want something that wont rip out. I would then attach 1/2in pex to the buckets, I would grow in groups of 5, the 1/2" pex would tee off to the buckets induvidualy.
I would leave the pex coiled up in the tree out of sight, I would even paint it the color of the tree I was using, or try to match it best I could. I would then tie fishing line to the end so I could pull the tubing down to ground level. I could then pump from the ground to the buckets. You can get pumps that attach to cordless drills that work well, but I always used just a reg hand pump. I could fill the buckets in about 3 min.
I would still have to climb up there to coil the pex back up, but I reckoned that I would have to check the plants anyway. Either way it saved me from climbing trying to hold onto a rope tied to a 10gal container of water.
I hope this makes sense, and best of luck in what ever way you go for.
